@S46: Very nice sketches for Potain cranes. Also the picture is very interesting, I've never seen it before.
But the the crane in the picture and in your drawing is not the custom-made Potain MD1000 from 1984, but a series MD1000. The crane from Turkey hasn't a double mast system- 5,5x5,5 and 4x4m like the 140m HUH series MD1000, but only a 5,5X5,5m tower. Also the cab is different, this kind of cabs was fitted on later Potains, like MD1400. Anyway, the cranes look great!

@baggerfritz: one 3150HC from your photos is mounted on a special, custom-made base. I suposse the other 3150HC in the remote plan is mounted on concrete foundation, am I right?


greetings,

djlivus,
I am sorry, but the picture actually shows the operational MD 1000 crane from Sivas Kangal, East Turkey, of 1984.
( Hint: They have a website... )

The picture you are obviously relying to, from " Schweizer Baublatt, issue 64, from 10.08.1984" in which
the Sivas Kangal crane is described, is wrong, or at least does not show the fully erected crane.
It shows a MD 1000 with a 4m tower at a HuH of about 99m, not with 5,5m tower, and not at
140m HuH. The picture might have been taken at Potain`s testing area at that time.
( with Braud Faucheux`s to be spotted )

The cab => you are right, I have inserted the modernized cab, since I have no reliable data of the original
( Peiner - like ? ) one, every attempt to do so, looked ugly, so I aborted this.

To draw a Potain is very difficult.
I wonder who finds the other mistakes in the drawing, but I won`t tell you.

@S46: I think you are right, I was in error. The picture from Potain yard is not wrong, because I have another picture of this crane from a slighty different angle. If in that picture mast is 4x4m, that imply the crane was erected there on a smaller base of 10m gauge, because the mast is too broad for a ratio of 1/4.
It seems that the cab also was later replaced with a different one (similar with the one in your drawing): I have 2 pictures of this crane from mr. Pius Meyer, but I always thought is a different crane. Also in Mr. Kessel & Meyer book is depicted the crane from Sivas Kangal with a double tower system, but I also thought there was an error. So, this crane is a series MD1000, not a custom made crane. There is also a Potain MD1000 from 1980 shiped to former Jugoslavien with a hook height 0f 149 m, but that crane is statical.
Would be really nice to see a comparison betwen Potain MD1000 and 150m Kroll K3000 (on normal base, not portal), of course if you'll have the necessary spare time to draw it!!!

kind regards,

djlivus
